Any suggestions?

When I had acne on my forhead I found out it was because of my bangs and so I grew them out. After that I continued to get some acne there and in some other areas of my face so online one tip said to not do anything to my face at all. The thought of not washing my face or putting acne stuff on it seemed kind of gross and stupid but I just stopped touching my face other than to apply makeup (just to my eyes) and i don't get any acne and my face is never greasy. Maybe thats a weird tip though.

Sounds worth trying, though it does seem kind of gross....

Yeah I know.... I'm a pretty clean person and I used to wash my face in the morning and at night everyday. But seriously... I have no problems now and my face doesn't get dried out.... its really weird.

um I would suggest to wash your face. your young hun and a lot of kids around your age break out and Im sure you will grow out of it. Ask your doctor for a medication or something, see what they tell you. My cousin had acne bad and it cleared totally up from medication they gave him. Also Make sure your changing your pillow case often because that can hold dirt. maybe even try looking into link [www.proactiv.com] and see what your parents say.. my brother used it and it worked on him. but I would wash your face otherwise it might get worse.

I would strongly suggest that you cleanse your face twice a day, morning and night. Use cleaners that are noncomedogenic (won't clog pores) and alcohol and fragrance free. Be sure to tone and moisturise after that. It's also very important to know what your skin type is- normal, oily, dry- to determine which products would work for you. Acne gels work great, and can be applied underneath foundations. I also find natural products such as tea tree and pawpaw incredibly effective. But most importantly, make sure you have enough sleep and drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin.

I don't want to encourage this, but I barely ever washed my face growing up and I never had spots. Never.

My brother used it too, and whatever he had left over I stole and use when I need it I usually have a pretty clear face, but sometimes I break out due to stress or whatever. I use this stuff and it generally clears up in a few days.

See a dermatologist if it's really bad

shug , thats cuz u have dry skin,,
oily skin tend to have acne cuz of the oils it has,, while dry skin tend to be clear all the time cuz there is nothing in it that would cause acne

but dont think dry as in when u touch it, its dry its different meaning
but as well dry skin age alot faster than oily skin..(not to keep u pessimistic or anything!!
